If there was ever a time I would say "I LOVE MY THERAPIST," it would be in reference to Deidra. She is thorough, funny, relational, patient, and understanding. Her counseling sessions are always filled with godly words of encouragement and wisdom, which were things I required when I first signed up. When she asks me questions, they're thoughtful and always cause me to think about things in a more insightful way. I also love her book recommendations and "homework assignment" she gives me after our sessions. Needless to say, I am always excited for my upcoming sessions with Deidra, and I am blessed to have her as my therapist on this God-given journey that is life.

I truly believe your story is important and what you have to say matters!
I am a Therapist and a pastor. I work best with motivated individuals who are ready to grow. Many of my clients are leaders in their families, businesses, or ministries who carry significant responsibility and often feel the weight of being strong for others. While they appear capable on the outside, they may be navigating boundaries, emotional overload, unresolved grief, or relational strain internally.
I provide a safe, respectful space where you don’t have to hold it all together. My approach combines honest reflection, practical insight, and steady support to help you gain clarity, strengthen emotional resilience, and move forward with confidence and intention.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
